IxNetwork Test Solution for Oran Fronthaul Transport Network
Enable 5G success with robust xHaul transport infrastructure
Open RAN EVOLUTION
With the advent of Open Radio Access Network (RAN), mobile access networks are moving toward a virtualized, disaggregated and cloud-based architecture. Ethernet-based Packet Transport Network is introduced into the RAN and the transport network is segmented into fronthaul, midhaul and backhaul connecting Radio Units (RU), Distributed Unit (DU) and Centralized Unit (CU) towards 5G core. The fronthaul network between RU and DU need to deliver time sensitive radio data with strict loss and latency budget and become the center piece of focus to enable robust 5G transport infrastructure for successful 5G deployment.
